I just received the following email from Dr, Richard Wassersug who is a member of our North Shore Prostate Cancer Support Group in Vancouver, BC. His Estradiol Initiative continues to move forward.

Dear All,
Finally, the key paper by the Brits on transdermal as a treatment for prostate cancer is now out and free online!

See: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2511781

Transdermal provides not just better quality of life, but equal to or better survival in terms of disease progression. Although it is not in the paper, we have data to show that the one specific side effect of transdermal estradiol, gynecomastia, is actually minor in adult men.

Tell the world!

@gkm

Thanks for this info and for sharing those fantastic news !!! < 3

Now hopefully it will be told to "doctors" since "the world" knew but nobody would prescribed it to patients and I am sure will still NOT prescribe it for some considerable time in the future : (((.
